These really are a tire with outstanding grip and comfort and most of all silence . they have some of the best wet grip i have ever experienced in a tire and provide serious peace of mind but my god they wear fast . i have only gotten 2500 miles out of mine over a little over 2 months. i have them fitted to my 2003 BMW E39 525d Touring .its not a sporty car or particularly fast so i wouldn't have expected this kind of wear . so overall i can say they have excellent grip and comfort but the wear is ridiculous

Initially bought these as they were on offer. Fitted rear tires last May, then the 2 front tires in October. It's now February, and after 8000 miles the rear tires are down to 3mm. On a FWD Vectra. The front tires have covered just over 4000 miles and they're now at 4/5mm. Needless to say, I will not be buying them again.

Outstanding grip and handling at limits. But high wear..

15k miles of normal family driving and they need replacing. Whilst I accept front wheel drive will not last as long I expected more than this.

Fantastic tire, sticks to the road really well, excellent feedback, quiet, comfortable, and as already said, grip is absolutely spot on. Would highly recommend these tires!!

After 9,000 miles on 225/45/17 the fronts are 4/5 mm and the rears 5/6 mm.

Drive well. Summer braking and cornering no problems.

A little noisy though.

Looking at the tread pattern these will be useless in snow so they are now off until April.

Very disappointed!!! Only 7000 miles,Lack of words

Initially these were very good: grip in the wet and dry was good. They are quiet.

However after just 9000 miles, the tread is down to 3mm, and on the wet autobahn in the slow lane (which in Germany collects lots of water), the grip was poor (wheel spin on accelerating getting onto the motorway at relatively low speeds) and risk of aquaplaning with not enough water dispersal when tread thickness is low. Dry grip when the tread is low is still very good, but some tendency also to get wheelspin on hard accelration which never happened when the tires had more tread.

So initially very pleased, and now disppointed that they have worn out so quickly and will need replacement so soon.

Very good performance tires, I would only not buy again because those are first tires what I have to excchange after driving 15 000Km I drive family car, any other brands I had before lasted minimum 30 000Km if not more I find the short lasting as very expensieve variant, that is why I will not buy those tires any more, but if I would drive some light sport car, I would definitely buy them because of very good performance on road, becasue with sport car you do not watch on the tires long lasting :) but perfomance only....

The RTs are really decent tires, with amazing dry grip when warm and new and excellent wet grip, although I always go very cautiously when it rains. Dry grip does deteriorate with age and tread getting more shallow. The tire also needs to get slightly warm to grip really well.

Although Dunlop calls it SportMaxx, it ain't really that max(x)... It is sporty and goes through corners very nicely, not letting go easily, but you don't get much information through the steering wheel. But I guess the same can be said of many a "sporty" tire of today...

Comfort-wise, it is very quiet and compliant. You do lose some of the compliance if you increase the air pressure to get it to talk to you though. And the noise increases with age and the tread getting shallower.

The most troubling thing for me about this tire is that at some point one of the tires developed a fault that caused it to vibrate. The tire originally was at the rear and the vibration was slight, but when I rotated and it got at the front, it made the steering wheel vibrate at 120-140 kph, which is really annoying. Yes, I went through multiple wheel-balancing sessions and I checked the car's alignment, everything was fine, so I blame the tires. I guess their light construction (their weight is very low) didn't cope too well at some point with the Greek roads..

I have found the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT XL tires very good, dry and wet both excellent performance for my light weight Renault Megane Sport Cup. Previous tires Continental Sport Contact 5 M0 XL and Avon ZZ3's, both good tires but the Dunlop Sport Maxx's out do both of these tires in handling, fuel economy and lasting far better, my driving habits are fast, hard braking and combination of town driving. Definitely a very good setup for my car and would recommend and buy these again. Suit my car well.
